HEDNESFORD Town conceded a last-gasp equaliser to draw with FC United of Manchester and slip out of the UniBond Premier play-off places.

The Pitmen twice led but Danny Warrender’s scrappy free-kick deep into injury time gave United a 2-2 draw.

On-loan Matt Lewis gave the hosts the lead on 28 minutes, tucking home a header from Anthony Maguire, but a mistake from the latter allowed Adam Carden to level on 65 minutes.

Dean Edwards’ side replied ten minutes later when Lewis was bundled over in the penalty area and Ross Dyer lashed home the spot-kick.

But Warrender’s leveller means Hednesford slide to sixth in the table after four of the top five all won.

Willenhall Town also suffered last-gasp heartache in losing 2-1 at Sheffield FC in Division One South.

The Lockmen, having fallen behind to Mick Goddard’s 67th-minute effort, thought they had rescued a point when Lee Chilton converted an 89th-minute penalty, awarded for handball, but with seconds remaining David Graham hooked home the Sheffield winner.
